Using a DI718B on a computer with 2 Ethernet ports

Using a DI718B on a computer with 2 Ethernet ports

Is there a way to get Hardware Manager to recognize directly-attached DI-718Bs when the computer has two ethernet ports?  I'm trying to keep my DATAQ stuff segregated from the corporate LAN.  Ideally, the setup would be:

  • One Ethernet port connected to DI-718B for data acquisition.
  • One Ethernet port connected to corporate LAN to access company resources.
I've tried:
  1. Turn off Windows Firewall service
  2. Disconnected all Ethernet cables
  3. Assign first port static IP address
  4. Connect Ethernet cable from computer to DI-718B.
  5. Run hardware manager (HM)
  6. HM finds DI-718B.
  7. Exit HM
  8. Set second port to DHCP
  9. Connect Ethernet cable from computer to corporate LAN.
  10. Run HM
  11. HM does not find DI-718B.
I've tried a couple permutations of the above, and cannot get HM to find the DI-718B.
